Walked passed this bar often while on holiday, decided to pop in one evening for a cocktail. It stopped serving food for the evening, which was fine as we just having cocktails, we weren't disappointed ( we had a few) . A relaxed atmosphere with great views of the promenade and the beach beyond. Good spot to people watch while letting the day or evening role by . Happy hour between 16.00 & 19 00 half price cocktails for all over 18 ( obviously).. Good choice of cocktails, great value

It's a very good bar and the food was delicious (especially the pizzas). They have have happy hours everyday from 3pm - 7 pm wherein the cocktails are only 4.50€. Lovely sea view from the bar. Would visit again.

Very nice bar to call in for a late afternoon drink. Over looks the promenade and beach and a nice spot to enjoy a relaxing afternoon drink and people watch. The staff are excellent, very friendly and efficient. Good selection of drinks and cocktails which includes a happy hour from 3pm to 7pm. Best pint of San Miguel well kept and reasonable prices. Didn't have food but lots of people do. Get a drink, sit back and watch the world go past.

A lovely quaint bar on the beach front, beautiful views too. We had a mixed tapas to share and stayed for happy hours with quality cocktails. The staff were lovely and work so hard.

Visited a few times. Seems to be really popular. Only had bar type snacks on two visits, both times very nice. Nice view over beach but can be hard to find a seat from mid day till mid afternoon.

Excellent cocktails as always, keep coming back here as the drinks are fabulous, not silly priced either. Great view of the coast. Highly recommended.
